Use of the Efisiotrack System for Monitoring Patients With Shoulder Orthopedic Injuries

Shoulder Injuries Clinical Trial

Official title: Use of the Efisiotrack System for Monitoring Prescribed Therapeutic Exercises in Patients With Shoulder Orthopedic Injuries in a Hospital Setting: a Pilot Feasibility Study

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the effect on clinical variables of monitoring exercises prescribed for shoulder injury rehabilitation with the eFisioTrack platform in patients of the Rehabilitation Service at University Hospital of Elche.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients who be referred to the rehabilitation service of the University Hospital of Elche (Spain) for physiotherapy treatment (manual therapy, exercise, stretching, and electrotherapy) after suffering orthopedic injury or surgery in the shoulder joint complex will be considered for enrollment in the study. Patients will performed the prescribed physical therapy treatment, at least three times per week in sessions of 45 minutes in the hospital setting (application of manual therapy and physical modalities as ultrasound, heat/cold, laser, magnetic field therapy) together with completion of the exercise program for functional recovery of the upper extremity (exercises for muscle strength, scapular stability, joint mobility, and proprioception). Following baseline examination, patients will be randomly assigned to either physiotherapist-supervised exercise (control group) or monitoring by the eFisioTrack system (experimental group) to perform active exercises as part of their shoulder rehabilitation. These will be performed independently by each patient in a hospital room without supervision by the physiotherapist. The following patient-reported outcome measures will be used to assess participants' shoulder pain and function: the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score and the Constant-Murley (CM) score. All participants will be assessed at baseline on their first visit to the physical therapy area and at one-month follow-up. ;
